Greetings!
So, the big news of the week is that Allie, bless her soul, is no longer whole. Tuesday, she had both of her top wisdom teeth cut out (tragic) without anesthesia (even worse!). She now has half as much wisdom, but less pain, so that works out, I guess. Anyway, her teeth had been hurting for awhile so it was actually a really good thing that she got them out. Now she has holes in her gums. They're healing, of course, but it's still odd. Good news, the pneumonia that has been plauging the author is currently abating (yay)! I am feeling better... even as Allie is in pain. Ya know, that's how life goes.
In other news... well, there isn't any.
Seriously, there is nothing going on. Nothing.
I just thought I'd drop a little note before Allie and I take off for a Disciple Now weekend in Winnsboro. Get to hang out with some people that I haven't seen for awhile, which is cool. Maybe I'll take some pics and post them when I get back. We'll see.
Later, all! - Whitney

I know... I know... Or, The First Bradshaws' Stupid Statements
Okay, so I realized, thanks to my sibling, that we haven't updated in forever.
In that vein, I have decided to initiate the official Bradshaws' Stupid Statements. Pretty much everybody knows that we aren't the brightest bulbs on the tree sometimes, while other times, well, we're just plain dumb. We don't say smart stuff sometimes, but we are pretty dang funny when we're stupid. Other people laugh, we laugh, fun is had by all at our expense.
I give you the Bradshaws' Stupid Statements of the moment.
1. "Um, the soups of the day are potato and mine-strone soup." - So Allie and I went to dinner because, well, we were hungry and we'd worked all day. Allie picked Fatz, and off we went. While trying to decide what we wanted to eat, Allie was perusing the soups of the day. I casually asked what today's soup was. She replied, in all seriousness, "Um, the soups of the day are potato and mine-strone soup." Yes, that's right, mine-strone. Two syllables, pronounced like they're written. Mine. Strone. All I could do was look at her and ask, "What?" To which, she repeated, "Mine-strone." So now, minestrone soup is Mine-Strone.
2. "Make sure to dust the leafplants." - We had house cleaning day at the Casa Bradshaw the other day. Mom was working on the bathroom, while Allie and I were dusting and glass cleaning our little hearts out, and Dad was... well, not sure what Dad was doing. Mom calls from the bathroom, "Don't forget to go around the ceiling fans with the long duster. And make sure to dust the leafplants." Allie looked at me; I looked at Allie. Confusion was everywhere. I hesitantly replied, "The leafplants?" Mom poked her head out of the bathroom, leveling a glare at me, "Yes, the leafplants. Get them with the duster, too," before turning back into the bathroom. Leafplants... right...
3. "It's queso." "That's Spanish for cheese." - The Bradshaws were congregating at church after a service one Sunday night, trying to decide what to eat, a normal post-church occurance. I say that I want Zaxby's but that I really wish I could get cheese with the fries because I'd been craving cheesefries. I'd sortof resigned myself to the fact that no cheese was going to be had at Zaxby's. Dad states that we have cheese sauce at home, that we could heat some of it up. Allie looks at us and says, "It's not cheese; it's queso." Dad meets her gaze and states, "That's cheese... in Spanish." Rack up a point for my sister... who was currently taking Spanish at the time of the incident.
4. "...in dark, enclosed spaces." "In the dark." - So, to preface this, I am claustrophobic, and mildly unhappy in the dark, not scared per se, but unhappy. Mom was describing to my grandparents and uncle a ride at Disney World, Mission: Space, which supposedly simulates a space takeoff. During her description, she made the statement that it wasn't bad if you were okay with dark, small, enclosed spaces. To reiterate one of my issues with the ride, I emphasized, "In the dark." Yup. I'm not a winner. I don't like the dark, or small, enclosed spaces. What can I say?
5. "Hey, buuuuddy." - For New Years, Allie and I babysat. That's right. We have no life. She decided that, because she had not seen Spiderman 3, we would watch it. Settling in, she quickly got bored, no great surprise there. The third movie sucked, by the way, had anyone not seen it. Anywho, about oh 45 minutes in, James Franco's character, Harry, gets amnesia, not so funny, right? I guess it just struck us funny or something, because the first words out of his mouth were, "Hey, buuuuddy." We erupted in laughter... and proceeded to stop the movie... because it sucked.
Okay, that's enough for right now. More to come later. Enjoy our stupidity.
